A young girl goes through life squatting apartments in Tel-Aviv, selling drugs for a man known as ‘Schultzi’, and chatting in chatrooms for fun using the name ‘Meow’. After her motorcycle is stolen, she arranges a meeting with a man named Alex Kaplan she chats with; after some stumbling, she gets him to meet her at a club she sells her product at, but, this being the Second Intifada, the club is bombed before they can meet.

Having taken his keys from his apartment earlier, she moves into his apartment, slowly assuming his identity and avoiding having her true identity revealed. Slowly but surely, weirder and weirder things start happening to her as a result...

The film was nominated for two Ophir Awards for Best Actress (for Anat Klausner who played Meow) and Best Shooting, and one the Best Feature Film in the 2005 Haifa Film Festival. Klausner co-won (with actress Asi Levi) the Best Actress award as well.

This film provides examples of:

Beware the Nice Ones: Meow’s customer ‘Nakhman’s nice, happy demeanour is implied to be only skin-deep; when he urges Meow to conduct herself ‘pleasantly’ and repeats the saying ‘the smile is the secret of happiness’, he sounds almost menacing. Subverted, as Meow overpowers him later on.

Bruiser with a Soft Center: Meow appears very rough around the edges, but what she really wants is a man who will lover her, listen to her rambling, tell her it’ll be fine, and bid her good night.

The Cameo: Famous musician and actor Maor Cohen appears as one of the party-goers in the club.

Convenient Coma: Alex is in a vegetative state after the bombing; the nurse showing Meow to him says he was in luck. near the ending, Meow says the doctors say his condition is stable and will improve.

No Name Given: Meow is known by her nickname, Schultzi may or may not be a nickname (as opposed to a pet name), and Alex Kaplan is known by his real name (assuming he’s real). No other names are given.

Nosy Neighbor: Subverted. The neighbor who greets Meow as ‘Ms. Kaplan’ turns out to be merely polite and have no idea who Alex Kaplan really is, having never spoken to him before, and not really caring who Meow really is; she just addressed her that way because she saw her living in his apartment and taking his mail every day.

Obstructive Bureaucrat: The bureaucrat from the police would not return Meow’s stolen motorcycle without a proof of identity, despite the policemen knowing her name and where to find her and the fact that she had the keys to it. Meow is very upset by this.

Only Sane Man: In her predicament, Meow expects Schultzi to be this and call her by her real name. He doesn’t.

Pintsized Powerhouse: Meow is physically small, but able to overpower ‘Nakhman’, a customer who is larger and seemingly stronger than her when she thinks is trying to fool her. Soon afterwards she realises he’s unaware of the "Groundhog Day" Loop she’s stuck in.

Pronoun Trouble: In Hebrew, second-person pronouns, most verbs, and all adjectives also decline by gender. Meow is very unsettled when she goes ‘back’ to work as a guard in ‘Azrieli as ‘Alex’, and the rest of the guards act as if she’s always been Alex, even addressing her as a female.

Rape as Drama: Subverted: the security guard Meow mistakes for Alex from the ‘Azrieli mall pins her to the wall after she takes his mobile to check if he’s the right person, then calls a colleague on his two-way radio, reporting some girl tried to swipe his mobile.
